Bao Zheng, when Li Zhang saw this name, he was a little unbelievable for a moment. After repeated confirmation, he finally found out that Bao Zheng was the Bao Zheng in history. He couldn't help but show a surprised expression. Unexpectedly, Han Qi and Bao Zheng were Jinshis in the same subject.

"If these candidates pass the imperial examination, will they fail the exam during the palace examination?" Li Zhang looked at Bao Zheng and Han Qi's names, and then asked Zhao Zhen next to him.

"Under normal circumstances, it's not. Although the palace examination mainly prevents people from favoritism and fraud, so that people who do not have real talent and knowledge can get away with it, except for the ten candidates who passed the imperial examination at that time that Emperor Taizu had passed the imperial examination and failed the imperial examination, the palace examination was actually just a decision on the ranking of the Jinshi, mainly to select the top scorer, the second scorer, and the Tanhua." Zhao Zhen thought for a while and replied.

Li Zhang couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this. He did not point out the names of Han Qi and Bao Zheng, so as not to affect Zhao Zhen's judgment during the palace examination. However, he had decided at this time that after the palace examination, he would definitely bring these two people. After all, their firearms surveillance was short of people, so he could not let them go this time.

When Li Zhang returned home, he happened to meet Han Qi who was anxious. After all, waiting for the result was the most painful time. Even a person as steady as Han Qi lost his room at this time. When Li Zhang saw him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Han, do you know a juren named Bao Zheng?"

"Bao Zheng? I met once, but I haven't said much. Brother Li, why did you ask about this person?" When Han Qi heard Li Zhang ask about Bao Zheng, a serious-looking young man flashed through his mind. He had met Bao Zheng at a party, but there were many people at the party at that time, most of them met for the first time, but they only had their names. If Han Qi had not had an amazing memory, he would probably not remember Bao Zheng at all.

"It's nothing, I just heard of this person elsewhere." Li Zhang did not tell the truth, and then asked with a very interested expression, "Brother Han, since you have seen Bao Zheng, is he very dark and has crescent-shaped scars on his forehead?"

"No, Bao Zheng is pretty, Brother Li, why do you ask like this?" Han Qi asked even more strangely at this time. It would be fine if Li Zhang asked Bao Zheng for no reason, but why is he so interested in his appearance?

Li Zhang couldn't help but show a disappointed expression when he heard this. It seemed that later TV series were indeed unbelievable. Of course, there were folk legends, but Li Zhang also felt a little regretful. After all, since he was a child, he always thought that Bao Zheng was the black charcoal-headed look in the TV series, but he didn't expect that he was a white-faced scholar.

"Brother Han, when you are participating in the palace examination, don't forget to make more friends with Bao Zheng. This person's future will be limitless!" Li Zhang did not answer Han Qi's words, but patted his shoulder and said, turning around and leaving after saying that.

"Director Examination?" Han Qi was stunned when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then he reacted, showing an ecstatic expression. Although he was quite sure of this imperial examination, no one dared to say that he was 100% sure before he came down. But now Li Zhang said that he was going to take the palace examination. Wouldn't he say that he had passed the imperial examination?

If someone else said such words, Han Qi might just be a compliment from others, but Li Zhang was different. He was a close minister of the emperor and could usually get in touch with some secrets that others could not reach. And calculating the time, the results of the test should also come out. In addition, Li Zhang entered the palace again today, so since he dared to say such words, there must be some basis, and he might have even seen the list of Jinshi in advance.

Thinking of the above, Han Qi was almost excited to scream a few times, and the previous anxiety was wiped out. In fact, Li Zhang told Han Qi in advance that he had violated the laws of the Song Dynasty. If someone knew about it, he and Han Qi would be in trouble. However, he believed that Han Qi was a smart person, and he would never talk nonsense even if he broke this matter into his stomach.

A few days later, it was finally time to release the results. The Song Dynasty's announcement was different from other dynasties. In addition to posting the list, the officials who released the results also had to call out the names of Jinshi one by one. The location of the announcement was Donghuamen on the east side of the imperial city, which was very close to the Imperial College. The so-called "Donghuamen Singing Name" comes from this.

There is a proverb in the capital that says, "Only those who sing the name of Donghuamen are good men." Although this sentence is too biased, it also shows the importance of the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty. For most people, sing the name of Donghuamen is the highest ideal in their lives. Even those who are illiterate will fantasize about the scene when they can sing the name of Donghuamen in their dreams.

Li Zhang happened to have nothing to do that day, and he was very interested in Bao Zheng, so he changed into casual clothes and rode to Donghuamen with Han Qi in a carriage. Speaking of which, this was also the first time Li Zhang participated in the Donghuamen romp. He had only heard that the results were very lively and could even be called the two grand events in the capital along with the Lantern Festival. However, he was not interested in the imperial examination before, and he had never paid attention to this situation.

When Li Zhang's carriage came to Gaotou Street, which was next to the city wall on the east side of the imperial city, he found that the carriage could not move at all. This street that was hundreds of steps wide was blocked tightly. In desperation, Li Zhang and Han Qi had to get off the car and then squeezed pedestrians to walk. At this time, Li Zhang also secretly regretted that he would have called the wild dogs if he had known it. He was very strong and it would be the best for him to open the road. Unfortunately, he went out early and came back late during this period, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Brother Zhigui, here!" Just as Li Zhang and the others walked forward, they suddenly heard someone calling Han Qi's name. The two of them looked at him and found a group of people standing on the side of the road. Seeing that they were wearing shirts, they should be all scholars who participated in the imperial examination this year.

"Brother Yong, you are here too, why don't you go forward?" Han Qi immediately smiled when he saw the other person in charge. When Li Zhang heard the title of "Uncle Yong", he immediately looked at the other person because he knew that Uncle Yong was Ouyang Xiu's name.

I saw that Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi were about the same age, with a handsome and elegant figure. It is said that Ouyang Xiu was a romantic and unruly person when he was young. Today, he saw this. Unfortunately, Li Zhang did not see Ouyang Xiu's name on the Jinshi list before. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have failed.
